Officials said if householders misused their bin four times they would be fined, and it would not be collected.

In a statement, the council said: "If a household misuses their bin on a total of four occasions a fixed penalty notice will be issued and the bin will not be collected.

Looks fair enough to me. We run that system here with very few problems, I'd go as far as to say it's mutually beneficial for everyone concerned.

Only beneficial to the council,cleansing department and the company that recycles the majority of our refuse.
And who owns these companies and who do these companies give large sums to



They do less and less for you whilst charging you more with penalties if you don't fully comply.
And you applaud them for it :shock:

How are they doing less for me? I put the same refuse out, just in different bins/boxes. Our bin stays clean, as there's no organic waste in it. I'm someone who has always recycled glass, metal, plastic and paper - the only thing we couldn't in the past was organic waste.

I'm not 'applauding' anyone - it benefits the person putting the waste out, and seeing as there are no viable alternatives to waste management that wouldn't cost huge sums of money and/or create massive anger from the masses, then I do think it's beneficial.

Any alternatives you'd suggest?
